Popis: Detecting the road geometry at night time is an essential precondition to provide optimal illumination for the driver and the other traffic participants. In this paper we propose a novel approach to estimate the current road curvature based on three sensors: A far infrared camera, a near infrared camera and an imaging radar sensor. Various Convolutional Neural Networks with different configuration are trained for each input. By fusing the classifier responses of all three sensors, a further performance gain is achieved. To annotate the training and evaluation dataset without costly human interaction a fully automatic curvature annotation algorithm based on inertial navigation system is presented as well.
